I am down to one old goat and she does not produce enough for my garden . Lucky my old horse pile is still available, but at 5 years old I am not sure of its potency.
If you can find a source for goat or llama or another ruminant it is far less likely to give you weed seeds.
Lucky you. How I long for my very own manure source like yours. I think the 5 year old horse manure will still be useful in the garden. I bet earthworms would have been having a field day in that pile.
I have been dreaming of raising goats and chicken. A couple households in my neighborhood keep chicken in their backyard. There are also two beekeepers nearby. However, my husband and I are traveling a large part of the year, so raising any animals is out of question right now.
I have not found any weeds in the horse manure I am getting from the current stable since I go for the aged part of the pile where high temperature would have killed any seeds therein.
